Indeed there are no guarantees in life

It’s the first time in MONTHS that I am spending a second night away from my kids (well, I had the little one last night, but all he did was sleep, so I am not really counting it) and I feel really strange without their presence.

So, Rating/Shoveling guy is making dinner – no, not to cheer me up – because he’s hungry and we do not have satisfactory food.

Rating/Shoveling guy: You need more rice?

Aunty Sid: No, this is enough

Rating/Shoveling guy: What about shaz?

Aunty Sid: She’s not going to eat rice if there is roti

Rating/Shoveling guy: But she may eat roti and rice

Aunty Sid: No, she won’t

Rating/Shoveling guy: Guarantee?

Aunty Sid: No. There are no guarantees in life.

She’s right on both accounts, that aunty sid is a smarty pants. If there’s fresh dhalpourie, you can be pretty much guaranteed that I won’t be eating anything else!
